Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Wash the strawberries under cool water, remove stems, and chop them. Peel and slice the bananas.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, bananas, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, and monitor the consistency. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 223°F (106°C) or the jam slightly mounds on a chilled plate.
